←Recommendations of No Theatre Critics Were Harmed in the Writing of this Play

A good lesson! Don't zone out while you're driving through social media! But if you do, write a play about it!

This play is an awesome example of how to write a play that is only a few minutes long. Nora Louise Syrian expertly captures the anguish and myriad emotions that writers go through when a critic hits a nerve. The reader offers great counterpoints to the writer’s impulsive behavior and how to be more positive with one’s words, particularly with the written word. Nice work!

A good exploration of how writers often lift themselves out of their problems! Short and sweet, with a complex problem resolved with support and clarity.

Here’s a predicament that works in a variety of contexts, making this short play enjoyable for all audiences. Who hasn’t hit send or enter and then wished they could retrieve the message before the intended target could read it? Do you keep writing and possibly dig a deeper hole? Or simply move on? So much possibility that will keep audiences buzzing afterwards.

A perfect example of how writers take the events in their lives and when we can't fix/address it, we writer about it. I now what to see the play that the writer writes as a result. Nora expertly frames the idea of how people can be almost neurotic about being judged and paranoid of what other people think of them. Its brilliantly done and is one of those pieces that stands on its own but could also be brilliantly expanded!

A fast-paced play we can all relate to. Love the title.

I think we can all relate to either the writer or the reader in this piece. For me, I sympathize with the writer, worrying somewhat unnecessarily if they have offended a theatre critic, when we know deep down that's most likely impossible! This is fun and pacey, I enjoyed it!
